Twirly-Whirly Dress Showcase and GIVEAWAY!!!

Another refashion-- the Twirly-Whirly Dress! It is made from a women's tiered skirt. The tutorial will be posted later tonight. I have made, ummm, four of them (hey, I do have 3 girls, ya know!). And here are the pictures (the giveaway is at the bottom of the post!!):

The giveaway is for the black dress only. It would fit probably about size 5 to maybe even a size 7 or 8. It is made from an upcycled women's skirt. To win, all you need to do is leave me a comment. If you want an extra chance to win, post about the giveaway on your blog and leave me another comment with a link. Want one more chance? Visit my Etsy store here and come back and leave another comment telling me your favorite vintage pattern. Giveaway will end next Sunday, Sept 30 at 12:00 noon. Good luck!

PS I may be selling the brown Twirly-Whirly Dress in my Etsy shop soon-- if you are interested!

Beautiful dresses! I have LOTS of tiered skirts, so I am sure I could spare a few to make dresses for my niece and my friends' daughters.I would love to win the black twirly whirly dress for one of the sweet little girls in my life.hugsHeidiheidig@gmail.com

You have so many charming vintage patterns! I love the 1960s Simple Sleeveless Dress Pattern Size 12 Simplicity 4429. It has the perfect timeless and classic silhouette.Also had a giggle at the fun wizard costume. That would be a fun gift to make for a friend of mine with whom I have a running wizard joke.heidig@gmail.com

My favorite at your shop has to be the 1960s Women's Collared Dress Full or Slim Skirt Size 16 McCalls 5251 UNCUT. If I was still a size 16, I'd so get it to make the Full Skirt version. It's gorgeous!! My favorite style of dress!

These are adorable. It's a great use of once trendy women's clothes. You're models are stunning little beauties! By the way, your photography is great. My mom is a photographer and she would love those shots.

So I just wrote up a little thing on my blog about your giveaway and brand spankin new tute. I pulled one of your pics, and cited you for creds. Hope that's cool, if not drop me a line and I'll remove it. Check it out and make sure you approve :)

Ok Leisel, I did it! I am not quite sure how to make a link on my blog but I did put your site in for all to check out! Great sewing job and I love your tutorial...I will admit that elastic string scares me!

Girl, you were sent from heaven, I know for sure!!! I am learning to sew for my grandaughter and she is such a girlie girl and this, to say the least, would totally be on her radar. I have been eyeing some patterns prior to finding your blog, but so afraid to try this. I would so love to be able to give this to Paige, my little"Bella".

I am so glad to have found you, I love your site. You are one talented lady, thank you for sharing with all of us. I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time here, learning how to make things for my grandaughter.

I would love to have one of those beautiful dresses! Who doesn't love a big twirly skirt. I hope they are easy to make so that if I don't win, I can at least try and create one for my girls! You are so creative!
